Creating Your Ultimate Photography Planning Checklist
To make sure every precious moment is captured flawlessly, I've crafted the ultimate photography planning checklist. Your wedding day is a unique tale of love, and your photos should be a timeless chapter that tells your story.
Before Your Engagement Session:
Connect with Your Photographer: Set up a pre-engagement session consultation with me. We'll chat about your vision, preferences, and get to know each other better.
Location and Theme: Choose a location that's meaningful to both of you or aligns with your wedding theme. Whether it's a rustic barn, a romantic beach, or the place where you had your first date, select a backdrop that speaks to your love story.
Outfit Selection: Pick outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Consider coordinating colors but don't match too closely – complementary outfits often look best.
Props and Accessories: If you have any meaningful props or accessories that reflect your relationship, bring them along. This could be a cherished book, a vintage camera, or anything that holds sentimental value.
Hair and Makeup: It's a great time for a trial run of your wedding-day look. Seeing how it photographs will help you adjust as needed for the big day.
During Your Engagement Session:
Be Yourselves: Relax and be your authentic selves. The best photos capture genuine moments and emotions. Laugh, hold hands, and savor the love you share.
Capture the Details: Don't forget about the details. Showcase your engagement ring, your hand in your partner's, or your names and wedding date written in the sand.
Candid Moments: Allow candid moments to happen naturally. The sweet laughter, the loving glances – those are the photos that will make your heart swell.
Variety of Shots: Discuss the types of shots you'd like with your photographer. From intimate close-ups to wide shots that showcase your surroundings, it's important to get a variety.
Timing and Light: Work with your photographer to ensure the timing of your session aligns with the best natural light. Sunset and golden hour often create magical, warm photos.
After Your Engagement Session:
Review and Select: Go through the engagement session photos with your photographer to choose your favorites. They'll often be able to guide you in this process.
Save the Dates: If you're planning on sending out save-the-date cards, now is the time to select a photo and create them.
Frame and Display: Consider framing a few of your favorite shots to display at your wedding or in your home. Your engagement photos are the perfect way to celebrate your love journey.
